Does this setup use a lot of electricity?

Not at all.. I run it 16 hours a day. It's a 54 watt single bulb. Every two weeks I have been starting seeds on a mat and putting 24 plants (vegetables) in a greenhouse. The root systems under the light are surprisingly healthy. I currently have a couple of hundred plants going. In terms of value for both price and electricity.. You can't lose. Good luck..!!

No, they are fluorescent bulbs. I never noticed any increase at all in my electric bill. I had the light on for approximately 6am to 10pm, 7 days a week for 3 or 4 months.

It is using 54W Light Bulb. You can estimate usage similar to as you run your laptop full time (50W). In numbers it will be about 1.2 kWt/day, 36 kWt/month.

Major energy user in modern comps is a video card...Without video card, 300W more then enough.If you will use powerful modern video card you have to change PSU if not 300W would be OK

Wii's are very efficient power sippers. I have multiple items that suck power even in standby mode. Savings would depend on what you have connected.

yes, this is exactly what this does. Split the power. (I am also assuming your psu is enough to handle all of the device loads.)

Don't know, but I've used it an awful lot and have not noticed a significant increase in my electric bill.

I would think that the idle power consumption would be dependent upon the power consumption of the power supply you are using to power this device. Sorry for using the word "power" so much but it just worked.

This should answer your question http://www.pcpower.com/technology/power_usage/

I just leave the pad plugged in all the time. I don't think it consumes much power.

Im never a 100% So I always use PSU calculators and find out my systems watt consumption. But as far as connections, it should work as this is a fully modular PSU. You can Google PSU calculators to help you guess how much you'll need. I always go a little over what they suggest incase you want to add stuff later and to be safe in case there is any fluctuation in power

it should be fine, its not like you are running a very large system. it would certainly take some of the jump out of your power loss if you are having any.

No, it does not use much electricity because it is really just a fan and does not have a heat source.

I don't know for sure, but i have 120 current and i have three small appliances plugged in.

depends on your house :)if 1000W are enough, yes (eg a holiday cottage)but major appliances like washer, stove etc need more, much moreFor a whole house application i would recommend a larger stationary converter with power factor correction

Probably average. I have ours plugged into a 750 VA UPS along with a phone switch, phone voice mail and phone music on hold and the power draw of all of these is minimal.

The unit itself has no power-consumption rating that I can see. If I had to guess, I'd say it consumes probably as much power as a night-light, or less. The unit itself is basically a volt/amp meter coupled with a display - none of these are power-hungry components.

On mine with 450watts it is showing about 22% usage, if linear them 1200 should show about @66%. I don't know if linear, personally I'd opt for a larger unit.

We don't use it in a high usage areA but the workmanship wouldend to believe that you wouldn't run into any problems. At 1200 watts it would get things done in a hurry.
